I Q/Vift Humm;

`ing member-is in position, Whereuponqthe vspring .Will press the latch 'outwardly and:

cause it to enter'notch 12.

Suitable means may be provided, as,- for instance, by stud 14, for easily manipulating the clamping member, and ,a similar' stud 1'5z is likewise provided upon the-surface of the latch for retracting the same. In Figs. 1 and 3 I haveshown the blade 16 in positiongapon theblade su port, and this blade is'p'rovided with `per orations which vfit the retaining lugs and enable the blade placewhen to be frxrrlg and securely held in the clamping memberis. closed.`

' By means of the foregoing constructio -it will be .apparent that the blade is clamped and securely held in such position thatfboth edges thereof may be used for I'. stroppi'ng or/ shavin is obvious tat modifications and changes mayf be made inthe exact construction shown and described without departing from the'spirit of the invention, and I do not intend to limit myself to the specific form shown, but f What I claim and desire to secure by Leb ters `Patent is: 1

1. Av razor-bladeA holding device com rising a blades'upp'ort, means for attac ing the blade -"'m"'thereto,

supper-Gand a spring-pressed latch upon substantially as described.

2. 'A 'razor-blade holding device comprising alblade support, means forv attaching the blade; thereto, a laterallyswin'gng clamping a laterally-swimgingv clampingjmember pivotally attached to said and a springfpressed, longitudinally-slidin A.latch 'upon said deviceA Vfor locking sai clamp-in place, substantially as described.

3. A razorblade holdin device com rising a-blade support, bla e-retaining ugs thereon, a clamping plate attached to sald blade support and recessed to receive the,A

heads of said lugs,'and a'spri'ngreSSed'i" sliding latch entering a -notch onv sai clampv ,to lock the same to the support, substantial/ly l as described.

4. A razor-blade holding device compris-i ing ahandle, an integral extenslonthereof forming a blade support, I*blade-,retaining lugs thereon, a laterally-swinging clamping'.

member pivotally mounted upon l'said blade-1 support, andrecessed to .receive the heads of said-lugs, and a spring-pressed latch au-A to said support upon theclosing o the parts, substantially as described.

5. A razor-blade-holdin'g otally connected together for relativemove# deviceipiorh i double-edge blade, comprising two arms, Y each provided with a. flat blade-seat apdfpivment in the plane of the blade-seat, bladen.

retaining lugs upon one -of said arms, the other arm'havingl, slots for receiving said lugs, the parts being so constructedand adaptedl that when `clamped together upon' `a blade the same will be firmly held and y the blade-seat, and locking meansfor fs'ecu-r-lf ingl said arms against relative movement about the pivot. f In testimony whereof, I
